ASTORIA, OR — The Astoria Uppertown Business Association (AUBA) invites the community to celebrate the season at the 4th Annual Astoria Christmas Trolley, Storytime Theater & Holiday Market, taking place December 20 & 21 from 10 AM to 7 PM. This festive waterfront tradition brings together families, visitors, and local businesses for two full days of holiday magic.

 

Guests will begin at the Barbey Maritime Center, located at 2042 Marine Drive, where joyful activities welcome all ages. Visitors can enjoy a cozy movie theater, a gingerbread house craft station, a greeting card table, letters to Santa, a community puzzle, an electric train display, and a professional family holiday photo before boarding the trolley for the next part of their adventure. 
 

This year, the Barbey Center also features a special pop-up from Look Around Books, a holiday book nook offering a curated selection of seasonal reads. They will be selling copies of the exact edition of The Night Before Christmas used in the Storytime Theater performance at Pier 39 where Erin & the Merry Makers bring the classic tale to life, complete with sound effects and props, and lead lively sing-alongs, passing out instruments for kids in the audience to play along. 

 

From the Barbey Center, guests may board the historic Old 300 Trolley for a delightful ride to the Pier 39 North Pole, where they’ll discover artisan vendors, festive foods, Whoville Bakery & Cocoa, The Grinch wandering about for photos (select times), Coloring Station, Santa’s Hotline Phone Booth, Storytime Theater, Pier 39 businesses, and the NEW Gingerbread Emporium, filled with holiday toys, sweets, and 2025 keepsake trolley ornament and stickers.
